A son has been banned from contacting his parents for five years after they reached the end of their tether with him always asking them for money.

Matthew Kerley, 24, has been banned from getting in touch with his parents through a restraining order after he was convicted of harassing multiple family members.

Kerley’s father, Paul, 60, had supported a restraining order suggested by the Crown Prosecution Service in 2017 after his persistent ‘pestering’ had given him and his wife Coreen, 51, an overwhelming amount of anxiety and stress.

It came after Kerley was sentenced to 32 weeks behind bars last year for harassment.

But despite the restraining order, a court heard that Kerley had made 30 phone calls to his parents in a single day, breaching the requirements of the court order.
